Default Sunrise over Miami Beach
Even though I was on vacation, I was up early each morning to capture the sunrise. This is one of the best that I took. Through the power of my will, I made the bird get up and fly with wings outstretched and "hold that pose". Actually, just sheer luck of great timing!

I have a bunch of other Miami pics on my flickr and my blog, so check them out.

So, you're the "bird whisperer"? The bird gives nice balance to this shot. And I really like how you captured the sun's rays. Very nice.
